No, I'm not healed completely, yes, I do still get depressed often. Yes, I still sometimes have bitter thoughts, yes, I hold grudges sometimes. But the Lord has shown me many things during this time in my life.

When I was thirteen, just three weeks after my thirteenth birthday, I was kidnapped by two men, who I'd never seen before. They sexually, verbally and physically abused me. I was rescued the day I probably would have died, and I felt so angry at times towards the people who made the 911 phone call because they heard screams, yeah, I just wished I had died that evening, as I probably would have. But I was airlifted to a hospital and I was taken care of, I wished many times after that that I would die, and then I began thinking about suicide. My life stunk in my opinion, I was paralyzed from my waist down, I was depressed all the time, I suffered severe mental trauma, I couldn't get up and do the things I wanted to do. I hated myself, I hated the two men, I hated the people who called 911! I started getting serious about suicide, I kept thinking about it. I was tired of people staring at me, I was tired of people making comments, I was tired of my unpurity. I was so sick of myself that I finally decided one day that I would just kill myself. I was planning it out in my mind, I was thinking how I should kill myself, but then I heard God speaking to me, he was telling me that I was his child, that he loved me. That I was not alone. He told me that he was doing all this for a reason, he told me that he was always there for me. He also told me to read my bible, and to pray continually to him. I did that, I started praying and praying, then I joined cc, and asked for people to pray for me. I have asked for advice, and gotten it. I have been helped so much on here, that God has truly helped me not to even think about committing suicide, I have not thought about it for at least a month and a half, and I plan to never think of it again! Just please keep praying for me, as satan would very much like to make me think about sad things, and not happy things, and would like me to kill myself. Just pray, please pray for me!
Also, a big thanks to all of y'all for y'alls prayers!!
With Christs love,

I am glad you didn't kill yourself I will keep you in my prayers
 
Louise,
I am so sorry to read what happened to you! But I rejoice that you found the Lord through the darkness which followed.

I lost my sister at age 15 in a similar manner, though she has never resurfaced. Your story gives me, with caution, hope that should she still be out there, someone will be able to show her the path to God as well. But, I will never cease hoping to find her.

Hang in there, dear. I have known and worked with several friends whom have traveled this road, it is la long journey and you have my prayers for your continued traversal of that road. Just keep your eyes on Jesus and grit your teeth at times. He is faithful and will provide the help you need as you need it.

It goes without saying, you have my prayers for the long term.
 
Hello there Louise! I am so glad that you found this site. Your testimony brought so much encouragement to me. Truly God is able. When everything fails, God's love never fails. I thank the Lord that you were able to share that. A million thanks!!! To God be the glory


Blessings

Isaiah 61:2,3,7,8
2 to proclaim the year of Lord's favor;

and the day of vengeance of our God;

to comfort all who mourn;

3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion-

to give to them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,

the oil of gladness instead of mourning,

the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;.....

7 Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion;

instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot;

....they shall have everlasting joy.

8 For I the Lord love justice;

I hate robbery and wrong;


Dear sister
May Lord comfort you and heal you soon, praying for you.

Wow. That is such a great testimony to the greatness of our Lord and Savior. He can take the most horrible of a situation and through it bring someone to Him. Completely amazing. He is soooo GOOD! Praise God for your testimony. My favorite saying is, "God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him, in the midst of suffering." Its by John Piper. Thank God for you and I will pray for you.
 
Thank you all so much! God is soo great, and so good! His love endures forever!
God Bless!

God works through all of us here, everyone who gives encouragement or touches the hearts of others god cannot help but smile and cry out ( truly these are my children they shine for me even now they will be greatly rewarded!)
 
I'm so sorry that happened to you Louise :( . What an awful thing for a anyone to go through. I'm so happy that you heard God's voice and are turning to Him for healing.

Praying for you sweetie, that He brings you peace and good thoughts and a vision of your future :) .
 
Thank you, Lucy. I am praying earnestly to him to help me!
God Bless!

great story.

they may kill the body but not the spirit...

the body is only for the earth.

yes you will get over this and you will be healed. Just put your trust and faith in God.

the devil loves using sinners to break people so they will flow to him.
 
Louise,

You are so inspiring. Wonderful testimony...this will help others as they go through their trials.

Dear Lord, please continue to walk with Louise and guide and direct her. Amen
 
Stay strong, God will bring you out of this. I will be praying for you.
